    Awful sewer smell in front of coach..

    I had that problem and turned out that the pipe from the toilet to the tank had a vertical section behind the wall in the belly that was coupled together by the factory with a rubber coupler with two hose clamps. It had separated.

    Electrical issue

    A GFCI will not reset if there is 5 or more milliamps of leakage to ground. If the GFCI receptacle you are referring to is servicing your RV through an adapter to a 30 to 50 amp dogbone then on to your trailer, try bypassing the GFCI receptacle and running off a non GFCI receptacle. If...

    Tires for tow vehicle

    Nitto and Toyo are the same company. I like the Toyo RT. Not as aggressive as the MT but more than an AT.

    Years ago we had a Sea Galley restaurant in Gresham. The original one in Port Townsend was a rustic building on the water. Is it still open?

    High amp draw 120v breaker on kitchen slide

    Maybe the reefer. Is it on A/C? 34 amps on your inverter input is less than 6 amps on the A/C output.

    Parasitic loss in 12v battery flat overnight

    If this is the original battery, it is several years old. Remove it, have it tested and if it is bad, replace it. Trailers used to all come with dual batteries and that was before they had as many parasitic loads. When you find that the problem is the battery, replace it with a larger one or...

    Parasitic loss in 12v battery flat overnight

    More info needed. Is the trailer in storage with everything off when this happens? Are you boon-docking in it, using lights, furnace etc. with no generator? Is this happening while plugged into shore power?

    Solar for trickle charging battery only--how much wattage is needed

    I would look somewhere besides Harbor Freight. Other known quality panels can be purchased near the same price point. Attached is an interesting solar guide. https://mozaw.com/best-100-watt-solar-panel-kits-review/

    Easy to confirm gray tank contents by using food coloring in a sink, add some water and observe while dumping using clear fitting. Repeat at each drain as needed.

    If there is a full size neutral available at that location you are in business. Run the feeder for the pool heater to the line (input) terminals of a 60 amp, 2-pole double throw, NEMA 3Rsafety switch. You can use NEMA 1 if the location is indoors. One of the load sides will go to the pool...

    Need recommendations - North Texas RV or Camping World?

    You should be able to take it where you want, not just someplace that gives a kickback to your insurance company. Start with a call to your state's Insurance Commission. In general CW is not usually the best choice.

    Truck and Trailer Safe Weights - HELP

    Moving weight from the back of the truck to the trailer may help some. Limiting unnecessary weight from the front storage area in the 5er will help. Same goes for the closet in the cap.

    Black plastic ABS piping

    You wrote: "ABS is less durable and can deform under sun exposure." and: "ABS is highly durable with high impact strength. PVC is less durable, as it is designed to be flexible and softer than usual plastics." So which is it?

    Jeep

    3400 lbs seems a bit light for a jeep. Have you actually weighed it? My jeep is over 4000 lbs. 2 door hardtop TJ. But is is highly modified.

    Want your thoughts on this generator setup

    The OEM generator is right under the coach with a short exhaust pipe in all RVs. Places like event centers with dog shows and close together boondockers often require the above roof extensions.
